This the first post by Leobond in the begining of this new year 2011. Hope the kickoff has been smooth for all..:)...Today I share with you all a silly but very interesting topic : 'A GoodBye Mail '....
About 'Goodbye', someone has rightly said : “Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.”
Today, sitting in my new work location, when I got the first goodbye mail from a team member, I winked!!
Lot of changes have come in writing such goodbye mails from formal to witty , the journey of the subject lines for such mails has been very interesting.
A Goodbye mail used to be sent in the earlier days as a formal way of thanking people and we all agree that like letter writing courses, there still exists template for the same. But with changing time the style of writing has become more day to day conversation type mails -Subject liners like SEE U LATER/KALTI.COM are more in use..;). People used to start working with one company and get retired in the same , so leaving would be a highly emotional part for such a person, but with privatization being the BUZZ, MNC cullture creeping in 'See You Later ' has replaced the old subject lines of 'Adieu'. Some say, we only part to meet again and I agree to it, but there are many such farewell mails which leave mark on us and we remember them for their wit or the style. Offcourse, goodbye is a strong emotion and sometimes impacts a lot but a small experience of saying goodbye also matters...
The leobond feels that so many faces in and out of my life ,some will last ,some will be then and now but life is a series of 'Goodbyes and Hellos'...So its again time to say good bye and more in the next post...:):)
Happy Sankranti/Lohri/Bihu etc to all of you...May the universal language of kindness always be there on your face :Thats your SMILE..:)
Cheers
